Time
Tim Krzys
Time is fluid;
it slips through our fingers
like tap water.
We always thirst for more.
Experiences capture its passage,
And memories are life’s
Only proof of purchase.
I Want You Beside Me Always
Tim Krzys
I want to grow old with you,
Lose count of the sunsets we share,
Stroll along a moonlit beach 3Ú4
Always holding hands and looking into
Each other’s eyes with deep longing 3Ú4
No matter our age.
I want memories of sitting by a campfire,
Warm conversation filling the
Crisp forest air between us,
And evening whispers among the trees
Filling my soul with love for you.
I want to wake beside you each morning
And feel the brightness and warmth
Of your sunshine on my face.
I want to travel the world
With you beside me,
Explore the space between our souls
And feel the ever-growing love
That feeds our spirits.
I want to feel the universe between us,
Sit beneath the clear evening sky,
Imagine heaven, and thank God for
The gift of you.
I want to play in the snow,
Make angels, and write messages of love
With my gloved hand.
I want to face the challenge of conveying
To you this deepening love I have.
Trying to tell you how much
I love you is like translating
Beautiful music into something
That is still and silent3Ú4
Yet I shall always make the effort,
Though it seems impossible as
Describing heaven.
I want you beside me
As my best friend and lover.
Always.
I want you forever with me,
Forever soul mates,
Today and always.
Beyond tomorrow.
Happy Anniversary
Tim Krzys
An anniversary is a sacred celebration of precious time together,
Of memories created in our hearts and shared between our souls,
Of events that we have survived and grown through,
A marking of time and an achievement of a milestone.
An anniversary is also a remembrance our wedding vows,
The dreams that we have created, the dreams we share and work toward,
And the future we awake to each morning.
It doesn’t matter how many years we’ve had together,
Because the time will never be enough to satisfy the
Hunger within my soul
For another day with you.
With each passing day
That tumbles along into another year,
I fall deeper in love with you.
You are my measure of what is beautiful,
You are in one, sexy and feminine, soft and sensitive,
And my eyes will always thirst for another look at you.
I always look forward to another anniversary,
to that yardstick of measurement
that marks our time together,
But everyday is an anniversary to celebrate and hold dear,
A day to cherish with quiet gratitude,
A day to savor in memory and heart as time passes all too quickly,
Insensitive to our wishes to hold it just a while longer.
I love you; such short and simple words with the power
To carry a heartfelt dedication to all we have been together,
All we are today,
And all we dream to become.
An anniversary is not just a day on a calendar,
It is a place in our hearts, wrapped in love
And wedding vows and carefully unwrapped
Each day for us to cherish.
Kissing You
Tim Krzys
There’s something about kissing you
That feels like angel feathers caressing my soul.
When my lips touch yours ever so slightly,
Enough to feel the warmth and the moisture,
I’m carried to a place where only you and I exist.
I love touching you, lying beside you,
Pillow talk whispering in the darkness,
The warmth of our souls warming our hearts,
Deepening the love and intimacy between us.
It always still amazes me
How wonderful I feel
With just a simple kiss.
That closeness with you
That you only share with me,
A space no one else can call their own
Is a heaven I love to explore with you.
I love that when we kiss
We close our eyes
And fall into a darkness that lights a world all our own.
No matter the turmoil
In our lives,
The stress of work
And the world around us,
memories of our past mistakes
All shrink in immediate retreat
When I hold you for a kiss.
Being near you,
Having you caress my heart with words,
Telling me stories past and present,
You pull me inside your heart and embrace me with your soul.
The world has never found the words
To describe the place we go when we share a kiss,
And I doubt it ever will.
I don’t think some things need even a whisper
Of a description
To make them a vivid memory of having been there with you.
I think some treasures
Should leave us speechless
And remain as something spoken
only through our eyes and sealed with a kiss.
Falling in love. . .again
Tim Krzys
I remember first falling in love with you;
it held true all the clichs of walking on air,
head over heels, and all the others,
and I knew there was nothing in comparison.
And as time passed,
life challenged us as it always does,
distracted us from the real meaning of life,
of what gives life its depth and joy,
and all the treasures our souls can hold.
Despite the passage of time and our mistakes,
and words we threw back and forth like rocks,
shielding our guilt with regrets,
through the difficult moments and arguments
every couple face,
there was never a time where love was forgotten
because I never need a reminder
of how much I love you and always will.
Now, things are different.
I’ve fallen in love with you again,
only this time it’s deeper, matured with age
and hard earned wisdom,
humbly purchased with mistakes and pain
it’s unconditional, never wavering, never asking
and never demanding, a love that simply is,
there for the taking and always yours.
It’s a love that knows perfection
Is unreachable and loves just the same.
It’s a love given by a Higher Power,
a renewal of the gifts we’ve shared,
a deep reminder of how precious you are,
how special you are,
and how treasured this love between us is.
A love that is one of a kind, a love that accepts imperfection
And expects it,
A love that never wavers nor retreats,
A love that knows who you are
And is never blind to your beauty,
A love that makes your soul transparent,
And sees the universe of possibilities within your heart.
It is a test love
That does not survive but thrives,
A love that escapes words but not expression,
A love that cannot be held
But always holds us together.
It’s a love only revealed in glimpses,
much as the grandness of the universe can only
be spied in small sections,
where light-years measure time and distance.
And over time, I’ll be able to convey to you
how great this love feels,
how right it fits into my heart,
and how warm it makes my soul.
I’m so comforted knowing you are my best friend,
that you are always there for me,
always loving me,
stumbling over my many mistakes,
seeing past my short comings,
yet always loving me more.
I feel held in your hands
close to your heart,
and I cannot think of any other place I’d rather
walk through life, then here in comfort beside you.
Too Short, this time with you
Tim Krzys
Life is such a blink, and then it’s gone,
Yet we often act as though it’s endless, that
There will be time for everything,
And tomorrow will always have room for
Apologies and forgiveness.
We live our lives blindly,
Seeing only the moment,
and pulling from our past whatever
anchors we can find to hold us down.
We laugh too little and cry too much.
We hold grudges forever,
And never love enough.
We let anger steer us into darkness
And let our pride blind us to
Forgiveness.
We never know when tomorrow will never arrive,
And never imagine that never will be tomorrow.
We never cherish life enough
But we cherish the things we have in life,
But things are not important.
Living life to its fullest is about not ignoring death,
Seeing it in tomorrow,
Respecting where it sits,
And respecting where we are.
Life is about living in the present,
Enjoying the moment,
Cherishing the love we have,
And letting the cold breath of death tickle our skin just a little each day,
Because only then can we fully understand how precious
Life is, how precarious our position is,
And how very fragile a memory can become.
Today is all we ever have, and I love you for every today
We can share together.
It’s loving you that has put life in my love
And brought love into my life.
And I don’t have to see tomorrow
To know what a treasure today always is with you.
Our First Meeting
Tim Krzys
The first time we met doesn’t seem that long ago.
It seems like only yesterday when I first looked into your
eyes and saw my future looking back at me.
That first kiss is such a vivid memory,
as sharp as yesterday and as hopeful
as tomorrow.
There’s something magical about our first meeting.
It makes me wonder how many times over the years
our paths crossed,
and our eyes met,
lost in the anonymity of the moment
but never quite forgotten.
the image lost over the years in a crowd of
anonymous faces.
I wonder how many times I looked at you
and my pulse quickened,
until you walked away and disappeared into a store,
or perhaps you were driving away
and your eyes caught me in the mirror
and we held the magic for a moment;
and I went on with my life
always wondering if that special
person really existed.
I wonder how often we share the same thought, but never know it.
It seems so normal that every day you say something I was thinking,
As if your soul had been reading mine,
Our hearts almost beating as one,
talking to one another in their own dimension,
as though our hearts and minds and souls were truly one
if only for a moment.
I believe in destiny and I believe in soul mates.
I believe that beyond what we can see or touch
lay powers we can only sense yet never prove.
I believe that
Between us is a connection, comfortable
and comforting,
unbreakable and forever,
like it’s always been,
.even years before we met.
I’ve always known you
Before I knew who you were.
I’ve always known you were out there
And I was here,
And in time our paths would cross.
Though there were times I wondered if my heart was
Talking to itself,
If my soul was alone,
But doubt is a human trait,
And doubt was always fleeting
Because in my heart I truly knew
That one day,
We would meet
And the words we would one day share
But be the sacred wedding vows we spoke.
Reminders
Tim Krzys
I don’t need a reminder of why I love you.
I’m reminded every moment.
When I go to bed each evening beside you,
I’m reminded of the comfort and the closeness
we share between us. There’s a warmth in
our togetherness, like slippers
and a warm fire on a winter’s night.
Every morning when I wake beside you
I start my day feeling loved and accepted.
Your love is like a spirit that follows me and protects
me from the harshness of the day.
I think of you often. Whenever the sun peeks through
the clouds with a spray of sunlight, I wish we could share
that sight together.
When I think of going home after work,
I think first of looking into your eyes when you greet me,
and seeing reflected back at me a cloudless blue sky.
No matter what I do, I always find you
coming to my thoughts. You appear like a whisper
of sunlight,
pushing away any darkness
and making sure I never feel alone.
I’m reminded of you whenever I see a couple
holding hands,
or see a flower or anything of beauty.
Whenever something makes me smile,
I’m always reminded of you.
Countless words and comparisons
Could be placed here on the page
To tell you this simple phrase,
But it’s as simple as this;
I’m always reminded of you.

A Love Poem
Tim Krzys
Love poems can be so complicated,
Flowing like a stream of flowers
And smelling of expensive perfume.
But that’s not me, complicated
And fancy, big words purchased by a poet’s mind.
When I really think about it,
there simply are not the words
That could possibly convey this feeling inside my heart.
No poet could ever find an expression
And put together a poem as beautiful as this
Feeling I have for you.
I love being with you, it’s that simple.
I love kissing you goodnight,
Covering up and waiting for dreams that will
Never match the dreams I have with you.
I love waking each morning
and seeing your sleeping face
that reminds me of an angel
And makes me think I wake every morning
wrapped with a piece of heaven.
I love sharing meals with you,
Watching TV, a movie on a Saturday night,
Or going shopping together, holding hands as we walk.
It’s the simple things we do together,
The everyday events as common as blades of grass,
But with you they become rare gems to be savored,
Cherished and treasured.
What I have to say is so simple, yet so difficult.
Saying I love you seems like too short a phrase
For this endless feeling I have inside,
A huge feeling shortchanged by simple words
But, until such special words are created, if ever
Perhaps brought to earth and spoken by angels,
I hope it’s enough to simply say I love you,
That I love you with all my heart and soul,
The futility of saying "I love you"
Tim Krzys
Have you ever tried to capture the splendor and magnificence of the
Grand Canyon within the confinement of only three short words?
Saying I love you is also an exercise in failure and futility.
Have you ever gazed upon a crisp and clear starry night?
A canopy of countless, brilliant points of light,
Sparkling, gleaming shimmering points, each one a whisper of profound
And dreamy thoughts of endless space and time
that stretch beyond our limitedÊ comprehension.
Saying I love you mirrors the futility of grasping and capturing infinity,
Of seeing the end of a black and starry universe.
Trying to capture the brilliant palette of colours that dance on the waves
of a restless ocean, reflecting an ever changing sunset eludes an honest and
concise description. Words become liars, nothing more than black and white
syllables that white wash a spectrum of brilliance, of scarlet, orange and
yellows that silently mix and flow,
mingling with the canvas of floating clouds.
Saying I love you is like painting without a canvas, blindly moving the
brush that lacks the refined talent in the steady artist’s hand.
Capturing the depth of emotion when witnessing a mother seeing her newborn
for the first time, capturing those feelings and assigning words to the
silent emotions in her eyes reminds me of how impossible it is to having
three words carry the feelings of my soul
When I say I love you.
Trying to paint an verbal image of autumn colours of a thick forest,
reflected in a calm, glasslike surface of a lake, a mirror that doubles the
fiery autumn flames robs the eye and mind of the library of words that would
still fall short of describing the serenity of that beautiful autumn moment.
Saying I love you is like a black and white photograph of that autumn scene,
a picture that turns gold and scarlet to shades of black and gray, turning
yellow to a pale white, and washing away all the shades between.
Saying I love you falls far too short of capturing this heartfelt feeling
that holds within all the colors the eye can see. Saying I love you is like
an evening basked in moonlight; a dimness that robs the color from our
sight, turns brilliant colours to blacks and white,
And takes three dimensions and flattens them to two.
Saying I love you is an abbreviation for an endless sentence, a mere
beginning to a message that can never end. Saying l love you can convey
nothing compared to what rests within my heart, to what lies within my soul
and yearns to be expressed.
I doubt that our mere earthly existence can ever find the words that can
only exist in heaven. But being in love with you
gives me a vision of what heaven must be like,
And being in love with you proves to me that heaven must exist, that there
is a God where all love is created, because loving you gives me a little
taste of heaven and always reminds me of how fortunate I am to love you, and
especially being loved be you each day.
Our Wedding Vows
Tim Krzys
Our wedding vows are engraved in my heart.
They are more than spoken words that echo in our past.
These words are the foundation of who I am and
what our love means to me.
These vows are not a temporary statement
of our love and marriage.
They are not words of convenience,
spoken as if decorations for our wedding,
but are as permanent and unchanging as my name.
Our vows are an expression of my love,
an expression of my commitment to you and us.
Marriage brings with it deep joy,
the seeds of lasting happiness,
the result of two souls intermingling,
growing together with the passage of time.
Marriage brings with it a bedrock foundation
of strength as a shield against the pain and challenges
so inherent in life.
And with marriage comes the challenge of growing together,
the challenge of compromise, understanding and forgiveness.
Marriage vows are not meant to be broken or challenged.
The strength that comes with our wedding vows allows us to make mistakes,
to fail and falter, to be hurt yet grow and thrive
in the warm light of forgiveness.
Wedding vows embrace the mistakes we make
and reveals in those mistakes the strength of our vows
as proof that no matter what, we will be here for each other.
Being without you is simply not an option to be explored
or considered.
You must know and believe that I will be here for you.
Our wedding vows illustrate my position in life beside you,
not a follower and not a leader,
but an equal, my hand held in yours.
We are partners in all we do.
We are partners that have more strength together
than as individuals.
Trusting in the strength and commitment of our vows
requires faith and demands nothing else.
Faith does not grow from proof and does not require it,
and evidence of its existence is nothing more
than the love we hold within our hearts.
Faith is not strengthened by action nor weakened by it.
Faith must exist alongside love
and exist simply because it needs to.
It does not change day to day,
it does not move and sway with emotions
of reaction or the passion of a kiss or embrace.
Faith simply is.
Believe in our vows, hold onto faith and do not seek evidence
of its existence. Such a quest is a never ending and ever growing chase that
does nothing
but erode what faith we hold.
I’m here forever as your husband,
your best friend and support,
Your lover and your life’s partner,
and the vows we exchanged
are words that are not merely words,
they are not expressions of intent or promises to be kept,
Our vows are more than that, more that echoes of our past.
Our vows are me,
who I am not who I hope to be. Our vows are part of my love,
part of my soul
and forever part of my heart.
A Kiss
Tim Krzys
There’s something about kissing you
That feels like feathers caressing my soul.
When my lips touch yours ever so slightly,
Enough to feel the warmth and the moisture,
I’m carried to a place where only you and I exist.
I love touching you, lying beside you,
Pillow talk whispering in the darkness
And I feel an intimacy grow and deepen.
It always still amazes me
How wonderful I feel
With just a simple kiss.
That closeness with you,
A space you share with no one
Is a heaven I love to explore with you.
No matter the turmoil
In our lives,
The stress of work
Or our past mistakes
All shrink in immediate retreat
When I hold you for a kiss.
Being near you,
Having you caress my heart with words,
Telling me stories past and present,
You pull me inside your heart and embrace me with your soul.
There are simply no words yet created
That describe the world I enter because of a kiss.
I’m not sure I’d want any words for such a gift.
I think some treasures
Should leave us speechless
And remain as something spoken
only through our eyes and sealed with a kiss.
Falling in love. . .again
I remember first falling in love with you;
it held true all the clichs of walking on air,
head over heels, and all the others,
and I knew there was nothing in comparison
to that feeling of love I I have for you.
And as times passed,
life challenged us as it always does,
distracted us from the real meaning of life,
of what gives life its depth and joy,
and all the treasures our souls can hold.
Despite the time, the mistakes,
and words we threw back and forth like rocks,
I always loved you and knew it.
Now, things are different.
I’ve fallen in love with you again,
only this time it’s deeper, matured with age
and hard earned wisdom,
it’s unconditional and humbled,
it’s a love given by a Higher Power,
a renewal of the gifts we’ve shared,
a deep reminder of how precious you are,
how special you are,
one of a kind, to always be loved
and cherished,
adored and held close to my heart
in love and friendship.
I cannot put into words how this love feels.
I think it’s only possible to show it,
and it’s too big to show all at once; it will require
a lifetime of gifts, gestures, intimacy,
and physical embraces.
It’s a love only revealed in glimpses,
much as the grandness of the universe can only
be spied in small sections,
where light-years measure time and distance.
And over time, I’ll be able to convey to you
how great this love feels,
how right it fits into my heart,
and how warm it makes my soul.
I’m so comforted knowing you are my best friend,
that you are there for me,
always loving me,
stumbling over my many mistakes,
tolerating my short comings,
yet always loving me more.
I feel held in your hands
close to your heart,
and I cannot think of any other place I’d rather
walk through life, then there with you.
Our Time Together
You’ve brought new
heights to my life, lifted my spirits
and brought light where there was darkness.
I cannot imagine a day without you.
when we’re apart hours slip past slowly,
I’m aware of every second without you,
each one an hour.
Yet you are never farther away than a thought.
The moments we spend together flow past
like a warm summer breeze,
quietly and warm, carrying the scent of Spring
and the warmth of your heart.
Our time together
carries forward timeless memories,
life’s proof of purchase for
the time we’ve spent together.
I’m thankful that tomorrow
is another day
I get to spend with you.
I Promise you
Tim Krzys
I can’t promise to you perfection or a happy ending.
I can’t promise that I won’t make countless mistakes in the future.
There are so many things in life I can’t promise, but the most important
things
in life I can promise with my all my heart.
I promise to always love you, to cherish the relationship
that we share, hold it close to my heart and protect it
with my soul.
I promise that I will always remain faithful to you
and the love we share. My heart belongs only to you and always will.
I promise to comfort you when you are hurt,
to share the joy that is in your heart,
and to make the goals you desire my goals too.
I will help you to achieve all that you desire and to support
your decisions.
I promise to accept you as you are and to love you unconditionally.
I can’t promise I won’t fall short of my goals, falter here and there
on the long path we share, but I can promise
that I will never lose sight of them.
I can’t promise that my words will never sting,
but I can promise to you that my actions
will convey my love and overshadow any words that
may be spoken.
I can promise that I’ll always love you,
always cherish you,
and always be beside you.
To say I love you is such a bland phrase for such a royal and rich
sensation.
I doubt there are words that could truly capture this feeling I have for
you.
If there exists a word, a phrase or a gesture that would
capture this feeling that I have, I promise I will find it, and convey it to
you.
Visions and Memories
Tim Krzys
Songs and distant whispers
break the stillness of the evening,
and it is at times like this I can’t help
but think of you.
Among a quiet summer evening
cricket sounds echo across the yard,
dark shadows dance slowly in a silent breeze,
and my thoughts always turn to you.
When I stand beside an ocean,
its vastness overwhelming
and shimmering in the sun,
waves cascading on the shore,
a seagull screeches
and the sun’s warmth tingles
on my cheek,
I always think of you.
It’s the sounds of life,
the sights that make us almost
swoon with delight
at all this world has to offer.
A moonlit night,
dark stillness fills the sky,
or a hot summer’s storm
with lightning going off like
giant flashbulbs,
thunder shakes the air
with rumbles,
and I think of the safety of
being near you.
So many sights and sounds
remind me of you.
Memories of life,
sound bites I’ll recall
years from now,
images of your smile,
the perfume in your hair,
the sexy glimmer in your eye,
so much to remember,
so much to recall,
and so much more I want to have
with you,
to recall
and to always remember.
